Chapter 594 - Sending him off

"That's exaggeration. Xuantin already taught Xinyang the basic courtesy in dating. She even brought Jang Shin to a movie date and picnic before."

William raised his brows in surprise. "Really? I wonder how it went."

"I don't know that. So, is there any progress?"

"Kind of. After my first date with Xinyang, Jang Shin popped up many times in our following dates. The date of two became a company of three. Tsk!" William said with a bitter look on his face.

Xiong Zhi nodded. "That's a good progress."

William was silent and looked down. His blue eyes held thoughts which only he knew.

He then scoffed.

"Ha! You ladies are really scary. You meddle in your friend's personal affairs and call it helping. Since I am done with my task, can I go now? I already booked a flight for today."

Xiong Zhi was stunned. "So soon? What time? We will send you off."

"In a few hours. There's no need to send me off. "

Xiong Zhi frowned. "We plan to give you a send-off party." She tried to bait him to stay.

"I have a feeling that the party will be something political again, or has a hidden agenda for your own use."

"You're spot on. I plan to use it for my IHZHI's artists."

"Evil capitalist! You are so heartless. Just give me hug or a kiss on my cheek as a parting gift."

Xiong Zhi looked at him blankly. "I can give you one, if you get permission from my boyfriend."

Linfeng's menacing eyes and cold face resurfaced in William's mind.

Ah, geez.

"Forget it. I am just joking. I can't bother you two." Wiliam stood up. "Anyway, I'll see you in a long time."

"You really plan on leaving now? Those two still need your help." Xing Zhi tried to push her luck.

The tall man had her back on her. She could not see his expression.

"I can't. If I don't return now, I am afraid I will not be the same as I am before."

"What?" Xiong Zhi was surprised to hear William's answer. She thought William would brush it off like a joke as usual.

William turned around and chuckled. "My ladies are waiting for me. I will grow older here and rot if I stay any longer, you know."

"Then at least say goodbye to Linfeng and Xinyang. I heard a couple of times from Xinyang about how great you are. It seems she took a liking to you. She rarely made friends."

"..."

William was silent. The smile on his face just stayed still.

Xiong Zhi: ?

William then remembered to answer. He smiled. "Alright."

Xiong Zhi: ???

When he was about to go out, Xiong Zhi spoke.

"Thank you for granting our ridiculous wish. We are indebted to you."

The tall blonde-haired man turned around and smiled. "What was that? Are you seeing now how cool I am? You can still abandon Linfeng and consider me."

"Please leave."

"Hahhaha." 

The door closed.

Xiong Zhi was left alone in the office.

She rested her chin on one hand thoughtfully. 

Did she see it right?

When she told William that Xinyang seemed to like him and sincerely wanted to be friends with him, he looked sad and disturbed for a moment.

What is it? Hmm.

That uncle's expression is somewhat bothering her.

Did something happen during Tang Xinyang's and William's date?

She and Song Xantin had put them together because they knew that there was no way Tang Xinyang will fall for a Casanova like William, and William would never touch the tomboy Tang Xinyang.

So what happened?

Xiong Zhi suddenly wanted to ask Tang Xinyang.

Xiong Zhi temporarily put down the important matters like the email she received from IAmFashionista. This could wait. Right now, William was leaving and she was quite indebted to him.

She called Tang Xinyang. "Hey."

"Zhi'er! Wow, you actually called me first! Are you asking for a favor?"

Xiong Zhi: "..." 

Did she really only call when she asked for favors?

That... seemed likely.

"Nope. I just wanted to ask how your dates with William went."

"With senior? As I told you, senior is really fun and sweet!"

"Then, did something happen? Like something that bothered you about him?"

"Something? Hmm... Oh. Jang Shin met us a few times. He..." Tang Xinyang went on and on about Jang Shin. 

"Gaaah! I thought he is concerned about me after the fight with senior, but when we met a few times after that, he would just stare at me and talk to senior instead! He should have asked senior to meet up with him when I am not there! Geez, that man, I can't ask for a rematch with senior if Jang Shin is there. I promised him not to fight in front of him again..." 

It was all about Jang Shin again.

"Okay. I understand." Xiong Zhi finally caught a chance to cut her off when Tang Xinyang took a breather. 

It seemed like nothing was wrong. Then perhaps William had received serious business matters from his country? He had been absent from his circles for too long. Maybe they had really bothered him.

The guilt in Xiong Zhi's chest grew. She had to find a chance to return the favor somehow. "Alright. But you won't meet William in a while now that he is returning to his country."

"Eh...? It's too sudden. That's sad. When is he going back?"

Xiong Zhi was stunned. William did not tell Tang Xinyang yet?

"Did he not tell you? It's today."

There was a loud noise on the other line.

"What?!! Senior! I wasn't even able to fight with him again!"

Xiong Zhi: "..." You are more concerned about that?

"Do you know what time he'll leave?"

"...In a few hours."

"I haven't said goodbye to senior yet. He taught me a lot and accompanied me to many places. I really owe him. He is my friend now. I want to see him off."

Hmmm... It would not be that bad if they surprised William and sent him off, would it? She could also tell Jang Shin, because today was the final day of William helping them.

"Alright. Let's go together."

"Okay!"
